Well...I've decided we need to have a greenhouse built on the property. I've got our garden 'almost' planted for this year but want to plan ahead... (actually Marty thinks I'm out of control with it). Marty's been a huge help with the tilling portion of it and today he set out a soaker hose system that is absolutely wonderful
So far, I've planted a 115' x 50' plot of garden out behind the Studio and bought over 200 potted plants to go in it. Although I was able to buy them somewhat on a discount it was still expensive. My goal is to build a greenhouse and this winter start our own tomatoes, peppers, etc to plant next spring. It will also serve as a haven for our ferns and other miscellaneous house plants over the winter.
I'm not 100% certain what the greenhouse should be built like. Has anyone here ever built a greenhouse? If so please share your ideas with us...
All I know for sure is that I am going to have a slab floor (my guess is about 12 x 12) and I have 37 window panes (remnants from the Studio) to incorporate into the build. I'd also like to have a small shed (or closet) with access from the outside for rakes/shovels/etc. on the north side.
If you have any ideas to share it would be so wonderful.
Like the Studio we're only going to do this 'Once'... So we want to do it right
Any helpful tips/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!!
